A dazzle of zebras creates a mesmerizing appearance that protects the group.ion to the individuals in the group. Ironically, while seeing all the stripes together serves to confuse predators, their unique pattern also aid in individual recognition among zebras. As the sight of a dazzle celebrates the beauty of both the collective and the individual, it also reminds us to cherish our common humanity while honoring the special qualities that make each one of us unique.

Mixed media, drawing on paper 24 x 18 x 1 in. Lena is my oldest grandchild and only granddaughter. Although she lives on the West coast, we have always shared a special bond. This summer, while she, her father and brother were visiting us in Virginia, she got her first period. Later, as we sat together, I began to sketch. At one point, she created a peep hole to look through as we talked. That gesture portrayed for me the ambivalence of the moment. It felt as though she was looking out at the future, as she contemplated the consequences of her body changing to her adult self. Her pose captured he tension between childhood and adulthood, highlighting the uncertainty and conflicting emotions that come with this transition Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

mixed media painting 30 x 40 x 2" The Sheep in Snow is a 30 x40” mixed media painting on Rives BFK paper. I adhered the original drawing onto a cradled wood panel. I then continued to paint into it and complete it with varnish. The gradual merging of the sheep and the snow in the background is reminiscent of many a snowstorm on the road to Syracuse where the snow clouded the vision ahead.

Often, their bodies are buried in unmarked graves and the land used for commercial purposes. The most egregious example would be the 10-15 Chinese American immigrants buried under mining waste in Tonopah, Nevada. There is universality in every specificity. What happened is Tonopah is representative of many in our country, buried in unmarked graves, discarded once our utilitarian value has ceased. This is one mixed media work as part of a series as a response to the continuing mistreatment of Asian Americans and the accompanying diaspora that follows.image transfer on canvas, gold leaf, acrylic paint 24 x 20 x 1"

cut & shredded magazine paper 11 x 14" This collage is part of a series about the condition of asylum seekers and the parallel with the religous pilgrims of the past. Both traveled great distances on foot. Both believed in the existence of sanctuary based on faith, the faith that their hope of salvation existed in a physical location. Both are confronted with perils of travel and some never arrive at their hoped for destinations. The parallels reveal that suffering is a part of the human condition historically and in modernity. We like to believe in the advent of modernity that such suffering should be a thing of the past. It's up to all of us to make that change to minimalize the suffering of our fellow beings.

silverpoint on paper 4 x 7 x .5" Winter’s cold clarity of light echoes silverpoint’s play of light from metal particles, as in a scene of the skyline silhouettes of sentinel trees I drew in chilly Brittany, as I huddled in my car. In the Blue Mountains, a dead pine tree epitomized the wintertime quiet of death, hibernation or new life forming. Frozen realities also use winter symbolically. The genesis of Frozen in Time (Japan) was a photograph my grandfather took in 1924 Japan, a country shocked and reeling after the Great Kanto Earthquake: a photographic record of time frozen, a landscape long forgotten and changed, yet to me utterly poignant and eloquent.

This piece is intended to invoke thoughts of unexpected tenderness via the tumbling, rustling, and tossing of the currents.

It has evolved from a formal piece into a more interesting, deeper, and more informed version of itself. Layers emerged, delivering hidden gems. It has become one of my favorite pieces because it just keeps giving. Dark tones are filled with a surprising myriad of color that prove that there is no real black, but rather a spectrum of deepness within color asking for light to draw out character within them. Look further at these color-filled dark areas, and as the eye searches, this piece will keep changing and rewarding your view.ink & watercolor on museum-grade canvas 20 x 20 x 2.25"

digital (1 of 10) 8.5 x 11" Creators of many kinds are recognized while incredible artists go unrecognized, have their work undermined, undervalued, and dismissed due to the melanin in their skin. These pieces aim to introduce an important group of rarely recognized artists. These female black fine artists of the 18th & 19th centuries not only sold their work but flourished during decades of our country’s deeply racist and dark underbelly. These women deserved our respect then, and they do now. Edmonia Lewis, Sculptor of stone. Elizabeth Catlett, Fine Artist & Sculptor. Alice Coltrane, Singer/Songwriter, and Musician.

My work is about sky. We live in the sky, usually at ground level, and it is the most volatile and vibrant part of our world, our every next breath. Refracturing cuts and reassembling the image into the pieces we focus on before our mind stitches it back together to one scene.

Sky knows the snow will cloak the resting branches Sky knows the tilting of the earth will warm the trees and bring them to life Sky knows the heat of the summer will bring the fruit ready for harvest Sky knows the falling of leaves returns the strength of the tree to the earth for the next year. Most of the other surfaces are just left as they were, to remind the user of the box's previous life.

oil 22 x 30 x 1" A friend was travelling in Iceland and took a photo of this dawn, while taking a trip to see the waterfalls at Selfoss and Dettifoss. I named it for the falls that sound more like 'Self Loss' because the absorption into this sky is a way to lose yourself. The following words were written for and are painted into it: The Road to Selfoss, the dawn to openness, the sky to everything.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.I am always wondering what it means to make art at a time when it seems we humans are not up to maintaining the health of our beautiful planet and its creatures. How can I just sit around and make pictures? What I do know is that for me, making art is like being a therapist (my profession for almost fifty years), and is like living life. Everything has a way of falling apart and then gathering together, making form out of the unformulated, continually layering and digging beneath the layers. The complexities of abstraction, color, line, and texture are the tools I employ in my passionate reach for exploration of the not yet imagined.pastel, ink, acrylic on paper 17 x 17"
